How To Style Oriental Print

The oriental print has been on the fashion scene for some years and it has made a quiet comeback this A/W. The dominating trends have been punk, leather, church, etc... but only a few magazines have picked up on the underlying oriental inspired print featured on the high street. Inspiration comes in the shape of texturised kimonos, delicate prints, silks and clean cut shapes. I picked up this blouse from Primark, I think it's gone on sale the week after I bought it - always great to know! Primark has recently brought out some great pieces, especially the A/W13 collections in which pieces could easily pass for items from higher end high street like Topshop.

This is a really simple outfit to put together, I picked black sporty trousers to go with this classic blouse to give the outfit a little edge and "trend" factor. Pairing this blouse with skinny blue jeans will look great if you're not as comfortable with the idea of upmarket jogging bottoms! I'm style crushing on monochrome so I added an off-white blazer to the outfit which is what I would wear to meetings and also now that it has started to get quite chilly. Balance the white colour with white heels, or even pointed flats if you're out and about most of the day. To add more colour into this combination, I added my neon collar from Celliana - adding bright accessories to muted tones really updates your outfit!

Hope you guys like this simple yet on trend outfit, let me know if you're trying the oriental trend or if you've already posted about it!
